Fall Friends

My good friend JoMarie called me this morning with a last minute lunch invitation. She hosted a bridal shower for her grand-daughter last night and had oodles of leftovers! So she called a few of her neighbors to share an informal mid-day meal.

Now let me just say that JoMarie doesn't really do anything informally. She and I belong to the same women's service club and our unofficial motto is

"Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!"

So I thought I'd share her lovely Fall tablescape. Don't you love how she elevated small pumpkins on silver and crystal candlesticks? I did something similar last year with brass candlesticks-I guess great minds think alike!

Jo loves haunting antique and thrift stores. She said she picked up this set of Czechoslovakian porcelain dinner plates for $1 a piece! Wow, gorgeous! But then to add a touch of whimsy she layered them on these chocolate brown polka dot chargers.

The table runner is burlap bordered with black velvet. Aren't we all loving how chic burlap has become? For a finishing touch she scattered candy corn down the middle of the table. Thanks JoMarie! There's nothing like spending time with good food and good friends!
